Re: Debug report

I would guess you have set Refresh Rate for one of the meters to zero which causes a recurring crash (this is already fixed now in our source code). Try reinstalling Audacity but half way through installation, check (tick) the "Reset Preferences" box then confirm reset when you launch Auda...

Re: Manual - Local copy not accessible

You can always read the Manual online: http://manual.audacityteam.org/ . It could be Gatekeeker is blocking access. Try: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Audacity/ Reboot if it seems to have no effect. To un-install is it sufficient to move the Audacity folder to the trash ? Are t...

Re: Portable Settings

If you have a question or a problem, please post in the board for your operating system rather than in Feedback and Reviews. I moved the topic for you. If the "Portable Settings" folder exists, Audacity will create fresh copies there of all its *.cfg settings files. Gale http://forum.audac...

Re: Increasing volume in near silent sections

If you want to do it automatically on the whole file, try Compressor or Steve's simpler Level speech plugin. Please see here how to install Steve's plugin: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug-ins#install . Or simply click and drag over one of the quiet parts and Effect > Amplify....

Re: Cannot burn Audacity files with Windows Media Player

I use Audacity to "record' LPs in my collection, to convert them to digital, then burn CDs (yes, consistantly old fashioned). I convert them to high quality .wav files and put them in my Win 10 Music section. During the conversion, Groove somehow "took" the file. I don't know how it ...

Re: Quality loss exporting .wav and reloading into audacity?

Hi, sorry to resurrect an oldish thread, but I have a query about 24 bits files. My multitrack recorder records in 24 bit and when I import into Audacity it converts the files to 32 bit. But often I might need to later edit or comp files in Audacity again. What does "comp" mean? If you me...

Re: Ticking Noise as Cassette is recorded and played back

Can you try another tape deck? Or even a new commercial tape recording in the same deck? Four beats per second is too fast to be mechanical noise caused by the tape going round but it could be electronic noise from the pinch roller.

Re: Alternative download location

So if there are internal packages, how do you obtain and install those and how do they differ from community packages? Are there fewer of them? Is there already one for Audacity? Unknown on all accounts. Here's the thing about an organization that decides to use Chocolatey, create and maintain thei...
